The proud and dynamic city of Khon Kaen is charmingly sprawled to the east side of the Issan region. It’s the perfect place to experience real “Thai” life away from the usual tourist attractions.
How to Get There
If you are planning on paying a visit to the city, there are many transport options to choose from. Buses and trains leave daily from major cities such as Bangkok at various time slots. Alternatively, you can hire a car service. Having arrived, many a hotel in Khon Kaen including the likes of AVANI Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre are available to choose from for accommodation.
Have Lunch at a Prawn Farm
Take a book and spend a lazy afternoon lunching at a prawn farm on Sri Chant Rd. You have the option of choosing from the freshest of prawns prepared in any way you desire.
Unwind at the Bueng Kaen Nakhon Lake
Located on the southeast side of the city centre, is the Bueng Kaen Nakhon Lake. Here you will come across a plethora of cafes and restaurants serving local delicacies. You can also hire a paddle boat if you feel like engaging in some physical activity
Wat Nong Wang Temple
A quick pit stop at this beautiful temple will ensure you take in some panoramic views of the city from the observation deck as well as a brief history lesson in Buddhism. The lit up temple by night is truly stunning.
